The B&H photo and electronic equipment store has agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle a discrimination case. The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces laws prohibiting discrimination, alleges that B&H Photo and Electronics Corporation paid Hispanics working in its warehouses less than others, and failed to promote them or provide health benefits. Under the agreement, B&H agreed to equalize the wages of its Hispanic employees to those of non-Hispanics.
